This book presents the most important fault-tolerant distributed programming abstractions
and their associated distributed algorithms, in particular in terms of reliable communication …

Using microwaves to treat metal-based materials is rapidly emerging as an energy-efficient
tool to interact with metals for a number of processes such as sintering, melting, brazing …

This paper presents a unified framework for object detection, segmentation, and
classification using regions. Region features are appealing in this context because:(1) they …

Software defined networking shifts the control plane of forwarding devices to one or more
external entities known as controllers. Determining the optimal location of controllers in the …

As embedded devices (under the guise of" smart-whatever") rapidly proliferate into many
domains, they become attractive targets for malware. Protecting them from software and …

The detection of failures is a fundamental issue for fault-tolerance in distributed systems.
Recently, many people have come to realize that failure detection ought to be provided as …

Chandra and Toueg (1996) introduced the concept of unreliable failure detectors, They
showed how, by adding these detectors to an asynchronous system, it is possible to solve …

Reliability theory is a major concern for engineers and managers engaged in making high
quality products and designing highly reliable systems.“Advanced Reliability Models and …

Several distributed peer-to-peer applications require weakly-consistent knowledge of
process group membership information at all participating processes. SWIM is a generic …

With the immense growth of internet and its users, Cloud computing, with its incredible
possibilities in ease, Quality of service and on-interest administrations, has turned into a …
